Road Safety GB (formerly LARSOA) is a national road safety organisation that represents local government road safety teams across the UK.
Road Safety GB supports RSOs in fulfilling their statutory role – to reduce the number and severity of road accidents through education, training and publicity policies and programmes.
Road Safety GB seeks to influence national debate – government policy and action, and public opinion – and works with other organisations to achieve common goals.
These goals include:
• Advising government and contributing to consultation on road safety policy, and identification of achievable national targets.
• Providing members with information on national and international road issues.
• Seeking national recognition for road safety issues, particularly where there may be conflict with current/projected policies and programmes.
• Encouraging the adoption of common policies and promotion of best practice.
• Providing opportunities for working in partnership with the private sector to achieve best value for money, particularly in commissioning and producing resources.
• Encouraging commerce and industry to address accident reduction through work based policies and initiatives for employees.
• Commissioning and contributing to research into the behavioural aspects of road accidents.
• Working with the media to provide expert knowledge and advice.
• Publishing documents that identify and promote good practice.
• Providing a forum for sharing ideas and programmes.
• Working with government to develop national road safety campaigns
